Short answers, pulled from the story.
Schrödinger shared the 1933 Nobel Prize in Physics with Paul Dirac for the discovery of new productive forms of atomic theory. He received the prize at Oxford, where he had recently become a Fellow of Magdalen College after leaving Germany.
The Schrödinger equation is a mathematical formula that calculates the wave function of a quantum system and describes how it evolves over time. Schrödinger published the foundational paper in Annalen der Physik in January 1926, and it has been described as one of the most important scientific achievements of the twentieth century.
Erwin Schrödinger coined the term quantum entanglement in 1935, in a paper building on the EPR paradox introduced by Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen. He called it the phenomenon that enforces the entire departure from classical lines of thought.
Published in 1944, What Is Life? speculated that genetic information could be stored in a complex molecule and introduced the concept of negentropy applied to biology. According to James D. Watson's memoir, the book gave Watson the inspiration to research the gene, contributing to the discovery of the DNA double helix in 1953. Francis Crick also credited the book in his autobiography.
Schrödinger left Germany in 1933 because he strongly opposed the Nazis' antisemitism. He was later dismissed from his post at the University of Graz in 1938 for political unreliability after the Anschluss. In 1939, Ireland's Taoiseach Éamon de Valera personally invited him to Dublin, where he became founding Director of the School of Theoretical Physics at the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies and remained until 1955.
Walter Moore's 1989 biography documented that Schrödinger began tutoring 14-year-old Itha Junger around 1926 and that the relationship became sexual after her seventeenth birthday. Moore also described his infatuation with a twelve-year-old girl, Barbara MacEntee, while in Dublin. A 2021 Irish Times article described him as a serial abuser, and in January 2022 Trinity College Dublin announced it would recommend renaming a lecture theatre that had carried his name since the 1990s.
